Connecting the system to a power source and powering on

Sequence for powering on system components  

You power on the components in your system in this sequence:

• Disk shelves first
• Storage engine last

  Caution
  You must power on the storage engine after the disk shelves.

The disk shelves and disk drives require time to power on, reset, and prepare to respond to the storage engine. The storage engine expects these units to be ready for input/output when it powers on and performs its reset and self-test.

Power-on process  

The power-on process for a new installation automatically

• Checks all connections to the storage engine
• Runs the setup command
